Change Expression Emote

Not a super big post or anything. I just thought that considering we're able to change our sitting position weather we're on a bench or the floor, I thought it'd be a good idea to have a "Change Expression Emote" so our character doesn't have the same blank face they have all the time when idled or on certain cutscenes of story.

I know you can already activate an expression emote in the expressions Tab, but I'm referring to a permanent expression rather than temporary.

Clothes and feature define the character's "personality" but expressions and posture play a role as well.

Idk just a thought...what do you guys think?
(Truly it's not important, but it's nice for the RPers, i suppose. I just want to see my Miqo'te happy or smug faced.

Sold. This would be excellent for rpers who would love to use facial expressions to visually define their character more, great for non rpers who just like a certain look on their characters, and then there's the potential for comedy so that's great as well.

This would be a huge help for NPC characters as well, especially in cutscenes.

Do you really want to see half the mi'qotes in the game using the most flirty expression they can find 24/7?

Glad you agree

Yes, please! I'm so tired of seeing my Miqo'te with the same blank expression on her face. Just seeing her with a simple small smile on my face would just overall make my day...! ;n;

No. The default expression perfectly encapsulates how utterly dead we are inside. Anything else is a lie.

I would love it if they made persistent versions of expressions. I'm surprised it isn't even an option yet.

If not permanent then maybe increase the timer to like 15 or 20 seconds or something..

At first i wanted to debate that...but really it's practically the best response 10/10

I'd love to see this! Sometimes when my friend makes me "angry", I make an unamused/angry face but it goes away in a second. Would be nice if I could keep it around for a bit longer. ^^; Would also be nice for other things, too. Maybe you have a very bubbly character! A smile all the time would be more appropriate.

Just a small thing but it would be a nice change. Although I'm sure there would be a lot of characters running around with ridiculous expressions all the time, haha...

Easy to implement

/emote duration
so /sad 10 would hold the expression for ten seconds
/emote x
x being infinite until you use another facial expression

I would love to see this in action. Most times I do not even bother with the facial expression emotes since they're so fleeting. If they were persistent, that would give them far more allure.

Yea that's where i was getting at, it adds so much more to our character if we can where exactly how we feel when certain things happen!

Like imagine you just got new gear after a 24hour grind and then you just show up to your friends with the most smug face possible!

Exactly, if the emotes were just as good and usable as changing position, then the emotional emotes have purpose

I'd be all for it.

Tried it, specifically
/sneer x
Didn't work, just a regular sneer for regular time.

Did i do it wrong, either way it was worth a shot X'D

I think they were just saying it may be easy for SE to implement, give players a toggle option so to speak. It's not something in game though, sadly.

Now i feel a bit dumb, but noe it also sounds super suoer possible! All they have to fo is implament a timer and not forget infinite while also giving a cancel too!

Please, oh great and mighty programmers of FFXIV, PLEASE make this happen! The deadpan stare constantly on my little Au Ra makes me sad. I want to see her happy (for more than 5 seconds at a time)!
